Juno shuffled into the kitchen and was shocked awake when he saw Peter. Peter was leaning casually against the counter drinking out of one of Juno's mugs. "Oh, good morning, Juno. I made myself some coffee I hope you don't mind."
"Um, n-no not really. About-about what you said last night, about us...Were you serious?"
"I don't know, Juno. One of us is a liar."
"That's just petty."
"Yes, of course I was. I'm still here. That has to count for something."
"Oh my God. Are you serious?"
"Yes."
"It's too early for this. I'm going back to bed." Juno turned around.Peter grabbed Juno's wrist.
"Hm?"Peter's lips brushed gently against Juno's cheek.
"Do You believe me now?" He asked quietly. Juno nodded silently. He then quickly wrapped his arms around Peter tightly. He rested his head on Peter's shoulder and inhaled deeply, savoring the smell of his cologne. "Goddammit." He whispered.
"I'm such an idiot." He felt tears in his eyes but he wasn't sad. He Quickly blinked them away. Peter stroked Juno's hair. "I have to go to work." Juno said. "Rita can't know. She'll bother us too much."
"Juno, can you stay?" The taller man pulled him closer. Then started patting him down. "What are you doing?"
"Sorry, habit. You're not wearing pockets so there's nothing to take."
"You've already taken my keys what else do you want?"
"If it's tangible I'll take it. Anyway just stay tell Rita you're sick or something."
"I'm Not the best liar."
"Sure,but isn't that part of your job?"
"I'm pretty sure you're thinking about your job. And anyway I don't even sound sick."
"It's not that hard."
"Yeah, I don't think I can come in today." Juno was lying on his back with his head hanging off the bed. "Okay Mista Steel, get plenty of rest and drink lots of water." Rita said.
"Okay. I'll see you tomorrow." Juno said then hung up. Juno readjusted his position so his head was back on the bed." Peter curled up with Juno and closed his eyes.
"Your couch is so uncomfortable." He said quietly.
"It's-much better here. I'll sleep here." He then moved around until he was practically on top of Juno. He fell asleep promptly afterwards.
